In March, the beautiful ladies entered the capital one after another. After many layers of selection, fifteen women were left to enrich the harem. These women were selected by the Queen Mother, Concubine Qing and Pei Zhaoyi. Xichen did not show up from beginning to end.
In fact, the Queen Mother, Concubine Qing and others were probably very anxious, because in the past few months, Xichen had never summoned any concubines, even though Cao Jieyu and Li Wanyi, who had just been ennobled, sometimes went there at night.
I'll sit there for a while, but I won't stay in any palace.
As a last resort, the Queen Mother forced the imperial doctor to diagnose Xichen's pulse, but the result was: the emperor had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and had taken good care of himself. His dragon body was strong, and he was better than ordinary people. What a blessing to all people!
After hearing this, Xichen smiled slightly, but the Queen Mother became even more confused. If it wasn't for her physical condition, then why... Could it be that the emperor has seen through the world of mortals and will never be close to women again? What's more, the emperor wants to leave his great career and become a monk.
?It’s not like there is no such precedent in the royal family! The eighth prince of Concubine Rou had become a monk. This, this, this... what if the emperor thinks so too?
But the Queen Mother's worries were completely unnecessary. The emperor had great ambitions, so how could he abandon the great rivers and mountains? When the Queen Mother thought about it, she felt that it was probably because the people in the palace were not old and beautiful, but they had been watching for so long, and they had long since disappeared.
In order to feel fresh, it is better to quickly select some young and beautiful ladies to enter the palace. Let alone the ninety-five nobles, how can even ordinary men not be tempted?
Although the Queen Mother does not want her son to hang around in the flowers, as an emperor, he should be exposed to both rain and dew! Even if it is not for the sake of appearance, to consolidate the political power and win over the courtiers, then it should be!
Therefore, in this draft, among the fifteen young ladies, ten are the daughters of court ministers. Although their appearance is not outstanding, they can be said to be ladies. The other five are not high-status, but they are beautiful, fat and thin, and each of them is charming.
The Queen Mother looked at the fifteen women in front of her with satisfaction, nodded slightly, said nothing, and was helped back by Grandma Yao herself, leaving Concubine Qing and Pei Zhaoyi to sit in charge. After giving some instructions, she placed these women in Chuxiu Palace.
中文, learn the rules well before you go to bed
Now that the mistresses have settled in, Shen Huan has received the detailed list given to her by Xi Chao. She read it carefully and found that the highest-ranking family member is Shangguan Xianya, the daughter of Shangguan Hongru, the minister of Guanglu Temple.
From Yao Siying, the daughter of Yao Xingbang, the minister of the third rank of Taipu Temple, to Luo Xia, the daughter of the Minister of Works, Zhao Yue, the daughter of the Supervisor of Qintian Supervisor, and several other Beijing officials, there are also some high-ranking but foreign-born officials.
Officials who were released, such as Pang Huazhi, the daughter of Yangzhou Salt Transport Envoy, Gong Hui, the daughter of Shandong Chief Secretary, and several other low-ranking officials, Shen Huan only briefly mentioned
Looking at it this way, I had heard of Shangguan Xianya in my house before. My father was still on good terms with Lord Shangguan at that time. When he went to their house, he would always praise his daughter when he came back, saying how well-educated and gentle she was.
I feel very unconvinced. Now that I have entered the palace, I want to see what kind of wonderful person he is!
Then there is Yao Siying, who is from the Queen Mother’s family. Although she is far away from her, she can be regarded as the Emperor’s distant cousin and should not be underestimated!
Then there is Luo Xia, she is Concubine Qing's serious cousin. It seems that Concubine Qing felt that there were not enough people around her, so she quickly helped her family to be a helper, but she didn't know how capable this person was.
You have to look at the other ones slowly. If they can be used by you, that would be great. If not, be sure not to join the wrong team.
Since Shen Huan had this idea in mind, she walked around Chuxiu Palace when not on duty. She was tired in the spring afternoon and all the palaces had the habit of taking a nap. Shen Huan told Xichen to go to Chuxiu Palace during her lunch break to watch the women learn the rules for a month. It's not short, but it's not long in the palace. Moreover, the rules in the palace are complicated and complicated. Different ranks wear different clothes, and they perform different rituals when meeting different masters. These are all very important, so the etiquette master does not slack off. Seize every minute and second to train these little masters
When Shen Huan arrived, the little masters were lining up to listen to the lesson. There were three people in each row, five rows in total.
The female master of ceremonies stood at the front, staring at them with piercing eyes and said: "There are eight grades in this harem. Now you are the lowest grade eight maidens. You will not officially become the emperor's women until you are in bed in a month. Xiao When a master is granted a title, the highest ranking will not pass over the concubines. Nowadays, there are only one concubine, two Zhaoyi, and two Jieyu who are above the third rank in the harem. The rest of the ranks are not high, so the young masters should learn the rules well, and their future prospects will be limitless." As soon as she finished saying this, she saw a look of anticipation on the face of the little master below.
Then, she began to teach them how to walk
"When walking, your body should be upright, your back should be straight, and your eyes should be looking straight ahead..." she said while demonstrating, and the little masters also followed suit.
Before I had walked a few steps, I heard a woman shouting: "Ouch!"
Everyone looked sideways and saw a young master falling to the ground, raising her head and glaring fiercely at the woman standing behind her.
